Thanks for the prompt reply.
Re: opening Makefile.inc - sorry, my mistake with cut and paste. I did not
open. What I did was Make.
Re: ...without having created the STA VAP first hand. Note that I had
issued the commands
/etc/init.d/networking restart
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
before hand. The card worked fine in station mode until I attempted to put
it in monitor mode.
Here are a few things I attempted today. I followed the Howto Changing
Interface Mode at
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/ChangingMode
~$ ifdown ath0
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.ath0.pid with pid
5913
killed old client process, removed PID file
